Heed the Watering Rules in the Heat | |
|
Door Hangers Distributed for Water Conservation
City of Hastings staff are placing door hangers on the homes of those who are in violation of the City's watering ordinance. The hangers outline the City's watering rules. As a reminder, odd-even day lawn sprinkling, based on a resident's address, is in effect from May 15 to September 1 of each year. An updated watering ordinance that went into effect this year also prohibits lawn watering between the hours of 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. This was done to conserve the City's water supply.
